[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8439338, member: 661255"] Got my subs reconed and installed. I am beyond frustrated. After I wired the subs up, one of my friends helped me mount them. I figured I would try it at a low volume to make sure they were hooked up right. One of the subs played and the other didn't, so we pulled out the one that wasn't playing, thinking we pinched a wire loose or something. I set it on my center console and played some music again after checking to make sure the wires had a solid connection. Still no sound out of it. I pushed on it, and it moved, so I knew the coil wasn't stuck. There was a little vibration after I pushed on it. I started fidgeting with the tinsel leads and it finally started playing. When I let go of where the tinsel leads connected to the 8 gauge wire, it stopped playing. Also, I'm mad that the wire is CCA and not OFC, but that's a minor complaint. For some reason Murphy heat-shrink wrapped all the leads and also where they connect to the 8 gauge wire. Only the black bottom tinsel lead is bad. I'm about to take the heat shrink off it and see what the deal is. I'm going to stay up all night if I have to. They do at least look pretty [IMG]http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag209/adulbrich/IMG_20150923_202250_611_zps97obwe33.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag209/adulbrich/IMG_20150923_210240_241_zpsvkni8j0t.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
